The Oliver Jones you referred to with Richard as a father earlier on in your replies died in 1969. His birth date was 1892.

Maes y garn is a property south-west of Argoed of the road Heol Tynewydd
Argoed is on the right edge about halfway up.
Added: Looked on Google Maps - Street View and looks to be still there, but no property name visible. Its position to the road and another property, I feel it is the right property.
Thanks for that it's so fantastic to see. Where its situated is simply stunning.

The Oliver who's father is Richard died in 1969. It isnt the same Oliver.
I have ordered the marriage certificate so it's a waiting game now. 🙂

Been looking through the bible, not sure if the attachment will help? His birth was put down as Mussy Gurn or Massy Garn in Argoed (Bedwelty) however Google shows no results of that location.

No. Just where he lived, his marriages and his children. It's funny because my gran (his daughter) always told me about a sister she had called Doreen who moved to Canada years and years ago. In the bible there is a Christine Doreen Mabel Jones but guess what, I cant even find a birth certificate for her either. Was her name Doreen or in fact Christine? Who knows. Most people in our family went by their middle names hence why everything is so hard to find.

I know my Oliver was first married to Mary Louisa Neal because it says in the bible we have at home which was his dating back to the late 1800's. She died in 1918 and then he married my great grandmother Susan Ellen Evan's in November 1919.
Stella who died was his daughter.

Their Oliver died in 1962. Not the same one.
With limited information it's been rather challenging retrieving any Information.

Thanks for your reply.
I believe Bedwelty is possibly the right one. I'm pretty certain it is Bedwelty. In the bible it says he was born in Argoed which is near.

Oliver Jones was born 20 May 1891. No idea of his parents names. He married Mary Louisa Neal on 4th Oct 1913 at Libanus Chapel. They lived at 17 High Street, Argoed. She died in 1918 and he married again to my great grandmother Susan Ellen Jones. As far as I am aware nan used to say they both met in Tredegar when he used to deliver either the milk or the coal. I know he was a collier at Gwrhay Colliery. They lived at No. 6 Gwrhay Cottage but moved to 5 Brynglas Avenue in the late 20's or early 30's. He died 16th April 1931. I know his brother and his wife used to live 'up the road' in Brynglas and I remember the wife being referred to a 'Bessie' but that's all I remember.
I know that seems a lot of information for somebody who hasn't got much information on him but I'm going on what is written down in the family bible and what cousins have said.
I have been searching for months and I found an Oliver Jones born in the same area with parents called Richard and Elizabeth but this is NOT my Oliver as far as I am aware.
Oliver and Mary had some children but after Mary died I have no idea what happened to them. Dennis, Sylvia Elizabeth and Doreen (Christine)
Thanks.
